You know, I cannot compete as it were with some of these fantastic shots - I have no close up macro lens and with my P&S cameras cannot put extension tubes in - it's almost tempting to get out the old OM2 with all the bits and have a go - then scan it, but No, No - I have decided to move on.
So - here's my friendly little garden spider - and he's pretty small, up close from the underside today. A-200 about as close as I could get - then cropped a bit more...

Nice shot, Geoff; I really like the way the mottled colored background shows up. Have any idea as to the spider's ID? It looks kind of unusual. BTW, doesn't the C740 have a super-macro mode? I used to get some great macro shots with my 755.
